Brewday 20/2/09 - Oatmeal Stout

[mysterio]

Brewing this up tomorrow, quite excited 'cause it's my first brew day in several months. Spent the best part of the afternoon cleaning up my equipment... I didnt bother to clean it after I last brewed in November or whenever it was

Just copying and pasting V1's recipe, probably sub in Fuggles and do a single infusion:

I've done this 3 weeks ago (with Northdown though).It's been in the keg for about 10 days and it already tastes lush. Even the gf loves it, and she usually doesn't even like stout.
Hope you have a good one. This is a lovely beer

The wort tastes amazing, real baked oaty flavour. Nearly finished the boil on this one.
